U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh on Friday struck more than $450 million from the damages a jury awarded to Apple in last summer’s blockbuster verdict against Samsung. The jury found that Samsung had willfully copied a number of Apple’s design and software patents for the iPhone and ruled that it should pay more than $1 billion in damages. Based on Koh’s latest decision, Samsung now owes Apple close to $599 million in damages. Koh’s ruling is based on her finding that some of the awards “rested on impermissible legal theories.”
